Celox Trauma Gauze is a new dual purpose hemostatic gauze used to both effectively control traumatic bleeding and to help cool and protect 1st and 2nd degree burns. Celox Trauma Gauze is composed entirely of Celox’s chitosan chemistry, it is not impregnated or coated. This product uses a proprietary manufacturing process to create a soft, compliant and hemostatic gauze that is similar in feel and presentation to standard cotton gauze. The gauze dressing is comprised of nonwoven chitosan fibers. The dual indications to control traumatic bleeding and to cool and protect against burns can potentially replace multiple products with one, freeing up valuable space in the battlefield medic’s Improved First Aid Kit (IFAK).
